The 25-year-old scored a double in the Reds’ 3-0 victory over the Black Cats on Wednesday night, with the Uruguayan assisting Sterling for his second Premier League goal.

Sterling, who signed a new five-year deal with the Anfield outfit last month, insisted that he has learnt a lot from training and playing alongside Suarez, with the 18-year-old admitting he is constantly picking up things from his team-mate.
